This paper describes the systematic study of metal-organic framework (MOF) catalysts for the reaction of propylene oxide (PO) with carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2</sub>) to generate propylene carbonate (PC). These studies began with the evaluation of MIL-101(Cr) as catalyst in a flow reactor. Under the developed flow conditions, MIL-101(Cr) was found to effectively catalyze PO carbonation in the absence of a halide co-catalyst. A systematic study of catalyst performance was then undertaken as a functio ...[more]
